3oaks ............ not true, sorry.
I got a citation in Tucson for going thru a left turn red light.
Traffic was moving thru - my speed in the citation showed 18 mph. Validated.
The person in front of me stopped so I did not reach the proper line in front by about 10-12 inches and thus was deemed to have run the light.
Now, had they not stopped I would have been clear.
Was going to fight it rather than pay the $305 and take an online traffic safety course. No points on my record.
I could take it to court. If some judge still holds me to it I pay more than the $305, take the course in person (in Tucson and I live about 30 miles from the place it is), get 3 points on my record (which will boost my insurance rates) and, if I lose, I pay all the court costs (amount unknown). And maybe have to pay a lawyer to get me thru it.
I paid it.
I have not had a ticket of any kind in decades and that was speeding ticket for about 15 mph over.
I know it will never happen again but if I were ever in that situation again I will stop and let traffic figure out how to go around me. :-)
